Protest and Fences
Racism and racial prejudices have many forms, some more obvious than others. For people who are part of the minority population, there will be some level of bias when it comes to hiring practices or other benefits. African-Americans for example had to deal with racism, even if it was not understood by the perpetrators to be racism, in nearly every aspect of their daily lives. Some prejudicial beliefs are so accepted in the social makeup that they become ingrained in the national psyche and are not questioned as being either true or false. The biases of those in positions of authority led to situations where African-Americans were hindered and prevented from achieving their own happiness as promised by the mythos of the American Dream. President Lyndon Johnson, in a speech to Congress, declared that the government of the United States of America had pledged to each person regardless….

esides the death of 100,000 Iraqi civilians, the number of severely wounded people and the remaining families, relatives, and friends of the dead and wounded is well over a million. (Hil 63). And, nearly 3,000 U.S., troops have lost their lives in combat in Iraq. The number of lost lives continues to grow every single day because the U.S. isn't doing the right thing. If we don't do something, people will continue to needlessly suffer and die. We simply should not tolerate another death.
Thank you for your attention today. I hope that you agree with what you have heard and will join the anti-war rally I have organized to bring the troops home from Iraq today. The rally will be held on December 7, 2007 at city hall. It is important that you let your voices be heard.

Othe potests pesented by CIS included unfai evaluation of OTG - anothe pesenting company. Complaints hee included vague equiements; insufficient detail as to why they ejected poposal; appaent duplicity (as in the case of implying that thee of its pesent employees wee available fo position); and ambiguous and vague language in its blanket statements.

The decision was that the agency misevaluated the poposal of CIS as well as that of OTG, and that the appaisal of CIS was pejudicial. The agency was ecommended to evaluate the poposals, as well as to eimbuse CIS fo filing fees.

The decision seems fai to me. I would add that the fifth evaluato be excluded fom eappaisal, and that cae be taken that all evaluatos be objective to the assessed agencies.

Political Protest
The current "Occupy: (insert location name here)" movement is something that has been on the minds of many over the last few weeks and months, not because the awareness of the issues are new but mostly because the movement is demonstrative of a sweeping political protest like the U.S. has not seen in many years. The political science of protest is one that demonstrates the allowance of change in democratic society and the allowance of revolution in undemocratic societies, protest can and is considered by most political scientists as form of political activism and to some even a form of necessary political participation in the same manner as voting, though not used or needed as often (Boyle & Schmierbach). Much like the use of raising ones voice or corporal punishment, in parenting, if you utilize it too often it loses its power to persuade. Yet, it clearly serves an….

Bob Marley Protest Song
PAGES 7 WORDS 2500

expressions of protest have come from a variety of sources and through a vast plethora of mediums. From paintings to poetry, protest works have helped to shape many causes, and have in many cases even influenced the outcome of the cause for the protest. This type of influence and the ability to affect masses of people simultaneously is perhaps best shown in the world of music.
For centuries, musicians have used their skills to convey messages and to spread the word of their causes around the world. Songs such as "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield helped shape the United States during the tragedy of Kent State and helped to fuel the protests of Vietnam. Other groups, such as ed Delicious of Ireland and Nina of Germany, helped to shape the political and social environments in their own nations.

However, perhaps the….


From this passage, Habermas brought into fore the importance of interaction in order to create a society that is not only "unconstrained" in expressing their views in the public sphere, but is also a well- and rightfully-informed society. For the social scientist, this is the key towards humanity's achievement of a truly rationalized and emancipated society -- a society that can assert and be granted their rights without any form of coercion or control.

The theory of communicative action is reflected more concretely in the prevalence of social protests and movements, wherein civil society is able to exercise its ability to create and express their opinions and there is opportunity for people to receive right and accurate information about vital social issues. Through the lens of protest, Habermas was able to reflect the kind of social order that prevails in the present modern society, which was characterized through the active and….

Voices of Protest by Alan Brinkley
In his book, Voices of Protest, the historian Alan Brinkley paints a portrait of 1930's America that was fundamentally ideologically resistant to substantial political change, but sparked politically radical and potential dictatorial movements on both the in response to the economic upheaval of the Great Depression. In Louisiana, Governor Huey Long exercised a nearly absolute control over his state legislature. This was partly due to the Louisiana electorate's greater willingness to be subservient to the will of a strong and charismatic leader, contrary to American democratic ideals, because of the fears generated by the Great Depression. Long seemed like he knew what he was doing and he had 'the answers,' however excessive some of his actions while in power. However, unlike the European parallels of dictatorial control, Huey Long could not hold sway interminably. America's larger federal forces kept the state's sway under their thumbs….

Art of Protest
It is interesting to think in terms of artistry when discussing social actions, but when the protest, and similar concepts are correctly performed, they are definitely an art form. In the United States, the civil rights protests that have been ongoing (because constant vigilance is required for a people's maintenance of their rights) since the 1950's, and earlier if the work of abolitionists and learned men such as Frederick Douglas are considered. This quest for civil rights guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution has made protest one of its founding hallmarks. The reason for this is that without a popular uprising of some type the people in places of authority are unlikely to believe that individual voices encompass the feelings of an entire group. However, these protests have to be well thought out, and that is where the artistry lies. This paper will examine the civil….

Contract Disputes
Your ight to Protest and Dispute a Government Decision egarding a Contract

There are three ways to protest a government decision regarding a contract, claims Daniels (n.d). Those three ways include filing a formal complaint with (1) the contracting agency, (2) the Government Accountability Office ("GAO"), or (3) the Court of Federal Claims. Of these three, the most effective method of filing a complaint would be with the GAO (Daniels, n.d.). However, it is important to recognize the difference between a protest and a dispute. A protest is a complaint about a bid being awarded to what is perceived to be an unworthy contractor. A dispute is different, because it more specifically refers to the way the contracting officers handled the bid applications and made the decision. Not all persons can protest or dispute a government decision regarding a contract. The disputer or protester must be a primary stakeholder in….

Occupy Movement
Global Finance and Protests in Opposition

he global protest movements against the world's financial institutions alter in their goals and scope, but ultimately erupted as an angry reaction to the financial institutions that accepted taxpayer money and were served no punishment at all, while the middle class around the world suffers with fewer government benefits and weaker economies. he economy has actually recovered, says economists, but only the ultra rich have noticed any improvement as their stocks have risen. he problem of unemployment is a problem not easily fixed, even in a good economy, as it points to structural problems in the way the middle class is arranged. hese problems need to be addressed by politicians if the middle class is going to be growing and evolving once again.

Songs of Tahrir" video supports all four of Danaher's main claims in "Music and Social Movements." The video depicts several musicians who were at the forefront of the Tahrir Square social protests in Egypt, integral to the Arab Spring. Different types of musicians from multiple genres and generations all participated in the Tahrir Square protests, risking their lives in order to foment the peaceful social revolution. The video shows how music was in fact integral to the social movement of the Arab Spring as it unfolded in Egypt in Tahrir Square. In particular, the "Songs of Tahrir Square" video shows how music creates a shared consciousness and shared identity built around a commitment to peaceful change and democratic revolution. The video also shows how music inspires emotions, which are often collective emotions necessary to attract people to the movement and retain those who are already a part of it.….

Inc., a small business, protested a decision by the Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service (MMS), regarding issues requests for proposals (Gamboa, 2004). On the 24th of May, 2004, MMS published a notice on the website that provides federal business opportunities (Gamboa, 2004). This was a presolicitation, and an announcement of its intent to procure a report drawing national attention to health education methods deemed innovative (Gamboa, 2004). According to that notice, there was a process (consisting of two steps) that had to be undertaken by interested parties (Gamboa, 2004). Qualifications would have to be shown and then some companies would be selected from those that were qualified (Gamboa, 2004). At that point in time, proposals would be asked for by MMS from the qualified companies. The deadline for requesting a copy of the solicitation was June 4th, and the deadline for statements of capabilities (qualifications) was June….

Play of Protest, a Play of American Identity: Tony Kushner's 1993 "Angels in America"
"Angels in America" by Tony Kushner is a kind of theatrical protest piece of the postmodern American age of fragmented identity. The construction of the play weaves different forms of modern American culture, such as Jewish assimilation, gay rights and religion, the anti-communism of the past era, and the Republican politics of the present, into a singular narrative. However, by doing so, it also suggests that, no matter how fragmented Americans may be by their politics, there is a cohesive humanity that unites America together, under the common guiding vision of the same angel. By blurring time and space over the course of the play's progression, the play creates connections between lonely and socially disconnected characters. In doing so, the play suggests that America is less segregated than the audience may be initially apt to think.

Of corse, there were some African-Americans like Malcolm X, an otspoken champion of black activism, who felt that King's non-violent
ideals wold never work and ths spported the se of violence or at least
the threat of violence in order to win the concessions they demanded.
